Block access to every file in the site but index.htm

Server NGINX
#1

I have a site with just one file: index.htm witch have some ajax linked
to php files. I’d like to make thouse php files only accessable via ajax
(post and get) coming from this index file and block access to all files
but the index.htm. Is it possible in Nginx? Thanks.

location = /index.htm {
root …
…
}

location / { return 404; }

using ajax cannot get correct response either.
you can protect information by COOKIE:

location = /index.htm {
root …
add_header Set-Cookie allow=true;
}
location / {
if ($COOKIE_allow = true ) {…}
return 404;
}

Please, Tony, just to clarify: when you say “protect information by
COOKIE”, are talking about this?

I think this is the pointed solution, isn’t it?

no, you cannot protect anything in nginx, its just a first step
protection. your server should support session.

and $http_referer needs to be checked.

But how to work with sessions if my first page is a static page? Should
I create a session via Ajax?
